VOL. XLVTII No. 133 Ba seb all Game Here And Horse Show At Dugger ' Holiday F e a tures. A quiet and "safe and sane" Fourth of July was in prospect fcr Sullivan today with a general .suspension- of business throughout the city. Drug stores wie UIJe" um'1 With no community celebration planned here, many local resi- ' ld ntg left the city for a holiday with friends and relatives in nearby and distant communities where fireworks displays and celebrations were scheduled. Picnics and outings at state parks were high on the list of activities for many and Shakamak Slate Park, with its excellent picnic and swimming and boat ing-facilities, easily accessible to SMliivanUtfs.J was a mecea for hvndreds of; pleasure seekiers: toA holiday attraction here was the Western Indiana League baseball , game scheduled b3tween the Sullivan Merchants and the Young Men's Club of West Terre Haute this afternoon and the Dugger Saddle Clnb, Inc.. was holding their first horse show cf the year at their grounds one mile south of . that town, with great interest manifested in the event. , The community band concert at the city park has been dispensed with for tonight, with tha series to be resumed next Thursday. 1 Today's "Glorious Fourth," more glorious than ever now that the nation is at peace after the most costly war in history, was nevertheless a far cry from the old-fashioned Fourths of July that were . accentuated by the ear-splitt.'ng din of firecrackers and countless other types of fireworks from dawn till dark, set off with gusto by the populace in general, young and old . alike. 'Those rherished-in-memory but often tragic occasions occurred, of 'course, before state laws prevented the sale of fireworks to individuals. It is the consensus of opinion that the modern method of observance justifies all restrictions through the saving of fingers, eyes, limbs, even lives. Pheasant Chicks For State Clubs Raised On Farms

The $46,251,516.95 paid by Hoosiers on their gross receipts since July 1, 1945, ranks as the second ! largest collection in the 13-year history of the state agency. Although it is a 1.7 per cent drop under last year's revenue, Mr. Sturdevant pointed out that the amount is more than doubla the average collections in the more normal pre-war years of 1938, 1939 and 1940, and ranks 20 millions of dollars ahead of 1941. Tax payments during the first and final quarters of the fiscal year exceeded collections for all comparative periods, but dropped well below the figures established in 1945 for the second and third quarters. This year the average payment from each of . 1,260,517 taxpayers was $36.69, an increase of 71 cents for each return although approximately 26,500 workers are delinquent in filing, their 1945 reports. . Increased collections during the last two fiscal years have made it possible for the state to return record payments to each jof the 92 counties as their share of the tuition support. The two distributions made his year totaled more than $27,000,000 on a basis of 19,917 teaching units. Receipts reported today boost to $355,023,706.57 the" total collections made under the provisions of the Indiana Gross Income Tax Law since its enactment in 1933..
